Me

That phone doesn’t purr

and that television,

well it has no fur.

That book may be good

but I am better

so you should

put that down

and play with me;

I wear the crown

so don’t make a peep

since now you can

watch me sleep.

Happy Birthday to Me

Since tomorrow is my birthday, here is my wish list. Please send my gifts immediately.

-1 mouse who is too tired to run

-Fish

-5 blankets (I only have 5, so I can double my sleeping spots with this gift)

-Tuna

-Peace & quiet

-Some sort of device that can be used to destroy combs and brushes

-A universal remote that is paw-friendly so that I can turn off the television when it interrupts my hunting.

-Muzzles for my people

-Tuna and fish

-10 empty cardboard boxes or 10 boxes of tuna

Really, if you would care to send me a gift, send something useful along to the shelter from which I was rescued. There are other cats and pups who may be in need of a new home and food, but at least they don’t have to put up with the terrible servants that I have!

Are You Decent?

You never knock

and you never ask

if you may enter

while I bask.

You may think

this matters not

but a cat’s privacy

is all she’s got.

So before you enter

remember this fact

I choose whether or not

my claws retract.em2

You’re Not the Boss of Me

My girl asked me if she could blog on Sunday! That’s my day! She gives me one day and now she wants to take that away from me. Well I will show her, I am blogging on her day this week! She has all these rules for me that she expects me to follow, such as:

  • Don’t go on the table
  • No running away
  • Don’t jump on the counter
  • Don’t eat that mouse
  • Don’t lick that
  • Only 1 fish a day
  • Don’t attack the bird

Well here is my list of rules for you, girl:

  • Wake up at 4 a.m. or really any time I would like you to
  • Heat my water to 79.12º F
  • Only touch me when I ask you to, even then, be warned
  • Do not kiss me after drinking coffee
  • I come first (no exceptions)
  • Don’t wake me to tell me “you love me”
  • I will lick that if I want to

Not a Peep

Ugh, she’s like a broken record

and she just won’t quit.

I can’t get a second of peace;

her voice, I don’t like one bit.

All I want to do is sleep

can’t she see that I have settled in?

Her voice rings through my dreams

there is no way for me to win.

And when I actually want her,

she has the nerve to fall asleep

sometimes I dare not wake her

since finally, I hear not a peep.

My Heart Aches

She must set a world record

for being oh so cute.

Every second with her is peaceful;

for her gentle purr, there is no substitute.

All I want to do is tell her

how she has settled in my heart.

She is all I ever dream of

and I never want to part.

I always want her near

and hope she stays awake

for when she is asleep

she makes my heart ache.

Déjà Mew

I feel as though

I may have slept

in this very spot

that’s so well kept.

I see some fur

and there’s a dent;

my scent is here

under the tent.

There are not many

spots I’ve just not been;

it’s hard to keep track,

I know there are more than ten.

So slumber here I shall

since I’ve much to do.

I may already have before

unless this is déjà mew.

Meowther’s Day Cards

It’s mother’s day. My cat mom deserves no prizes, but here are some cards we could be giving to our human moms.

Happy Mother’s Day! What do I get?
To the Mother who is always there… Leave me alone.
I got you one in every color!  
Thanks for all that you do, Mom! Maybe you could pick up the pace? I am waiting for my water and food over here.
Have I told you lately how I feel about you? Why don’t you come here and meet my claws.
